The Soldiers Monument Commissioners.
To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
believe that upon every consideration of
self-respect, pride of State and recognition of
the most valuable services ever rendered or
likely soon to be rendered to the people of Indi-
ana; direct in establishing permanently the
conditions of equal rights and prosperity, and
indirect in raising "Hoosier" out of ridicule to
fame, the State did wisely in deciding to build
a monument to her soldiers. But we do not
want to build q monument to ourselves Con-
cerned, as we naturally are. for the fame of
those who have fallen, we do not wish to do that
to-day which tomorrow, when we are gone
will look like an act of self glorifcation If the
people of Indiana think we have rendered them
and the Nation service which ought to be COM
memora.ed by monument. and so build one,
l mad rather my child when l am gone should
know that I had no hand in building it.
Let the service stand for itself, and let others
than soldiers express their estimate of it in man
aging the erection of the monument. A tomb
stone as mark of the family burying spot is
not monument to the nan that buys it and
pays for it until he is dead, and then, if it be
seen that he had inscribed on it expressed by
its size or character an estimate of himself, it
becomes a monument of his egotism or folly.
/ think General Grant would hardly have
headed q subscription to his own monument or
have scrambled for place on the committee Of
construction. What Indianas soldiers did is
settled. They concerned while alive. each
in his own way, as to whether the Nation has
paid them their dues; but they are not con-
cerned about the estimate posterity will place
upon the services they have rendered, and a
soldier would hardly wish to try to be his own
posterty by taking place on the monument
committee. j. f. LARIMER.

A Bitter Pill.



DR.. Edes, of Bagley avenue, was summoned
yesterday afternoon to attend q young lady in a
Clifford street boarding house who was supposed
to have taken poison. When the doctor arrived
he found the patient stretched on the bed in ap-
parent agony and surrounded by her weeping
friends who implored her to make a confession
before she died An investigation revealed that
poison had been taken. The young lady, un-
know to her friends. had made frantic effort
to swallow pill The pill slipped into the nos
trils. and the dissolvng ingredients almost drove
her crazy. When the landlady entered her room
and found her suffering SO acutely the conclu-
sion was jumped at that the case was one of
suicide. The pills will hereafter be taken in

it has been handed down from one to another,
accompanies the cane. 1t was left by General
jackson in a hotel in Cincinnati in 1882, and
never called for. They have gathered large
number of revolutionary relics, such as old
fiintlock muskets-some of them a curiosity
worth seeing. They also have large number
of 1872 war materials, consisting of nearly every
thing used by the soldiers for weapons. The
collection of relics of the late war
is a museum within itself, consisting
of everything imaginable which was used as
materials both by the boys in blue and
made from old files by the village blacksmiths
in the Confederacy. People who have never
seen such will be we'll paid for their time by pay

songs drills and other war Renaissance,
which will be very interesting and pleasing.

PRESIDENT GREvY, in the hour of his
political downfall, is showing a great deal of
force of character and high degree of patri-
otism. Notwithstanding the tremendous
pressure that has been brought to bear to
compel his resignation he has not been stam-
peded. and has refused to submit his resigna-
tion until he could be assured of some
arrangement securing the peace and welfare
of the country. The position of this able and
patriotic old man during the last few weeks,
and especially during the last few days. has
been extremely trying. and the frmness with
which he has held out for his own honor and
the safety of the republic is calculated to
elicit adj ration and sympathy. There are
some indica tons that these feelings are as
serting themselves among the French people,
and it is even possible that reaction may set
in that will change the aspect of affairs.
President Grevy is reported to have said on
Saturday: II am master of my day and
hour must yet see what I have to do and
say" This may mean that he is not yet pre-
pared to take the irrevocable step of announc-
ing his resignation.
President Grevy has announced that he
will send in his resignation Thursday next.
